The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health

Even when a good remedy for disease is Sc.

manner in which IL is taken. Irregular, inter

Taken in proper doses at prescribed intervals,
a reliable curative will effect the object OF its
use. Among remedies which, systematically
and persistently used, accomplish thorough
and lasting cures, and prevents the recurrence
of periodic disease, Hostetters Stomach Bit

The days that pass between now and
the comir & municipal election are breed
ing days for San Antonio. Out Of them
will come prosperity or adversely for
this city. The whole future Of the Ala
mo city hinges upon the character ofthe
men who shall make up our next city
council. Those men, above everything
else, should be men Of approved bust
ness ability. Men who can see beyond
the boundaries OF their own door-yards;
farther than the limits OF their own
wards. Men who can forecast the future
wants and dire needs OF the city and
make intelligent provision therefor.
Men who will not be content to see San
Antonio remain a border town, almost
outside the pale OF modern municipal
progress, but who will put as much bust.
ness brains into municipal affairs as
they have done into their own. 1t is In
the power OF the business men Of this
city to elect such city council. The
aldermen at large should be particularly
men OF large municipal views and well
balanced Judgments. 1t lie not political
dIstin ction that will save this city from
dry-rot this election; 1t is a distinction
between brains and stupidity. Draw the
lines for once between competency and
incompetency, progress and retrogres-
sion, foolish and wise expenditure.
